I like it. Funnily It digged up some stable bugs from the stone-age that have been processed, but x86 was still on the CC-list. > It has more options, and can even try to do the stabilization in cvs > tree and capture repoman output (it has to be enabled from the > command-line, see --help). Have you seen app-portage/tatt ? I think there is a huge overlap between your project and tatt. tatt can already fetch bugs from bugzilla, create USE-flags and reverse dependency, as well as cvs commit scripts. You can use your own templates for the scripts, but tatt also provides some. The next thing would be to clean up a few bugs and do a release, unfortunately I have not yet found the time for this. I'd be happy to give you access to the git-tree your you can just clone it on github. https://github.com/tom111/tatt I also use aliases like x86bugs='bugz search --cc x...@gentoo.org -a x...@gentoo.org' secbugs='x86bugs | grep security' > I think the key thing for arch teams is batching.
